actually i don't think we can lose against this depleted team if we play like the last games, yesterday i saw some really amazing team play and powerful offense (yes, because of NELLIE), keep it going and we will have way more wins since our bigs are back.
and i predict there will be much small ball against this small team.

without oden and joe przwhatever, yes, they are small, especially knowing that maggette is aldridge killer, baisically their front court is not imposing in any way (juwan can't move howard?!), so i predict nelson go small quite much.

i saw some stretches of portland play, i do not like their team, maybe becuase of unis, i don't know, howard hasn't impressed me in any way. i see no prob for randolph to handle him and have atremendous mismatch on the other end. aldridge has been terribel against maggette. so, i predictED lots of maggete/randolph/rad in frontcourt. since it seems aldridge is out with sprained angle, i don't know what bad play it would take from us to lose to blazers without their three bigs and guards in batum and fernandez. they simply won't be able to run with us.
